Thinking about it day and night, all day researching this little thing about goose feathers. In just a few days, Old Yang came up with several seemingly reliable ideas. For example, feather pads can be made into pillow cores and sold together with down quilts. Or made into stool cushions, which should also have a certain warming effect. Apart from making fans, the long feathers can also be made into quill pens and shuttlecocks. Goose feathers have the effects of treating boils, skin infections, scabies, scrofula, choking, and epilepsy, among others. You can also communicate with pharmacies to see if there’s any opportunity for cooperation. After all, sorting out these feathers is quite tricky, but picking out the blood vein feathers separately is just a bit of trouble. Knowing that Shouren is far less innovative and full of ideas in business than Shuzhen, but as the leader of Liu Family Village’s production brigade, Old Yang wouldn’t bypass him to give people free chances to question or even instigate. And just as he thought, after taking over the full page of ideas he wrote, Shouren got up directly, put on a heavy cotton coat, and headed straight to Shuzhen’s house with him. No other reason, even knowing the ideas are good, but not exchanging opinions with his sister and brother-in-law, he just couldn’t settle his mind! Shuzhen, who was talking to the Lianshan twins, was surprised to see the duo coming together: "Uncle Yang, you’re quite a rare guest. Aren’t you busy day and night at the down products factory? How come you have time today?" Old Yang smiled, took the hot tea handed by the aunt, and replied while drinking: "Not exactly free, just had a few new ideas, thought to discuss them with my dear niece! Ever since Uncle Yang came here, I’ve been greatly used, please help me out, don’t let Uncle Yang fail." He handed over the fully written page on ways to utilize duck and goose feathers. After a careful look, Shuzhen couldn’t help but sigh: A cunning businessman indeed! Compared to her half-baked novice skills, Old Yang was far superior. After all, with memories of a previous life, her so-called cleverness was mere imitation. Mostly applying things mechanically, with the only original seed optimization and research supported by special abilities. And Old Yang here, it’s entirely just his advanced foresight. The ideas were so comprehensive and fitting, Shuzhen just couldn’t help but admire. Because she initially planned to take the quality route, she never thought of directly stuffing feather pads in or smashing stalk feathers to impersonate down feathers, lowering the grade. Producing the finest down quilts and jackets, their small down products factory could make a big difference. Making feather fans from the plumes, and composting the rest, was all she could think of. But with Old Yang’s paper, it seemed there wasn’t a single useless feather left, the utilization rate was absolutely one hundred percent. Except for the goose feather crafts that couldn’t be developed at present, he simply covered all known feather handling methods. The most impressive part was also detailing how to motivate nearby village members and production teams to raise ducks and geese vigorously and pre-order the ducks and goose feathers from them. To stimulate enthusiasm for farming, finding ways to increase sales of duck and goose eggs and meat, and increasing purchasing prices were ideas that made Shuzhen’s eyes light up. "Uncle Yang’s ideas are excellent and comprehensive. Apart from admiration, I can’t think of other words to describe my feelings right now," Shuzhen smiled brightly, handing back the paper to him: "Having you as the deputy manager of the down products factory was definitely the best decision made by my brother and our Liu family village. No one else could have done a better job than you." Being thus praised by someone he was deeply grateful to, Old Yang’s heart surged with endless excitement and joy. Tears, unexpectedly, blurred his vision. He wiped away the hot tears from the corners of his eyes and heard himself say: "No matter the ideas or talents, it’s all thanks to you, Lianshan, and Shouren for giving us the platform to showcase. Otherwise, even if Uncle Yang was Van Lie reincarnated, it would have been to no avail, right? Rest assured, Liu family village is my second home, and you are closer than blood relatives to me. As long as you dare to use me, believe in me, I will never betray your trust and expectations. Just wait, Liu family village’s down products factory will have its international style someday! So what if it’s rural? Once Daoxiang Village reached its level in pastry, even our rustic name could become a model of returning to innocence!" Uncle Yang, your heart is indeed big! Unanimously, Shuzhen, Lianshan, and Liu Shouren had such thoughts flash through their minds. Only in Old Yang’s full excitement did he not notice the expressions of the trio, otherwise, he would have told them earnestly: Dreams must be dared to be dreamt! If there’s not even a blueprint, what talk is there of realization? With Liu Shouren, Shuzhen, and Lianshan’s support, Old Yang then began trial production of goose feather pillows and stool cushions. Because of being quite large, he didn’t use double-layer coatings. Instead, scattered coating fabrics leftover from making down quilts were sewn together for linings, and plain or colorful soft fabrics were used for outer covers. The finished products looked eye-catching, felt light and had good quality. As one young wife involved in trial sitting and sleeping said, "Wow, this is just awesome! It’s so fluffy and soft to lay on, not prickly or hard at all, and looks really high-end. That stool pad is even softer, fluffier, and warmer, like sitting on a cloud." Old Yang found it quite reasonable that something which cost about one yuan including labor was sold at six yuan each. Initially, the first batch of procurement personnel was quite reluctant, but by the second batch, they couldn’t wait to offer him cigarettes, call him Manager Yang, and discuss increasing production volume with him? Shuzhen was deeply impressed by this too. No wonder Uncle Yang said he didn’t need any financial assistance from the village, just permission to act freely. Once spring arrives, Liu’s family village down products factory will be able to upgrade to owned warehouses. Washing, sorting, and classifying feathers won’t require workers to take them home. As long as bricks and staff are all in place, by this time next year, everyone can steadily sit in a bright factory covering a series of production workshops, including down quilts and jackets. Liu Family Village’s down products factory is like sesame blossoming, growing steadily!
